Women’s March crowds exceed Donald Trump’s inauguration crowd

 

What started as a humble call for women to march has turned into a massive political movement. The official crowd size numbers are still being tabulated, but it is safe to say that turnout to the Women’s March rallies across the country have exceeded even people wildest expectations.

According to an informal tally on the website of the Women’s March on Washington, over 2.5 million people worldwide participated in demonstrations against the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

In Washington D.C., estimates indicate that the Women’s March protest crowd was twice the size of Donald Trump’s inauguration crowd. And according to the Associated Press, there were so many people at the march in Washington, D.C. that they were no longer able to march to the White House.

Hundreds of thousands march in cities across the country

But the massive crowds weren’t restricted to just the nation’s capital. A giant crowd surprised everyone in Chicago where 250,000 people turned out.

According to the Chicago Tribune, “Our march route is flooded. There is no safe way to march. We are just going to sing and dance and make our voices heard here.”

And in Los Angeles the estimates are that 750,000 people had turned out to march which is hundreds of thousands more than even appeared in Washington D.C.

In New York City, local government officials estimated that about 200,000 people turned out to the Women’s March.

In Boston, Women’s March organizers anticipated about 25,000 people to march. But instead, estimates show that the crowd’s size was between 120,000 and 125,000 people.

 

And estimated 100,000 people rallied in Denver, Colorado.
